Journal ArticleDOI
Geriatric blunt multiple trauma: improved survival with early invasive monitoring
Thomas M. Scalea,Howard M. Simon,Albert O. Duncan,Nabil Atweh,Salvatore J. A. Sclafani,Thomas F. Phillips,Gerald W. Shaftan +6 more
TL;DR: In 1986, invasive monitoring was began in all patients with any of these risk factors and modified this in 1987 to emergent monitoring, postponing all but the most critical diagnostic studies and reducing time to monitoring to 2.2 hours by limiting diagnostic tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonoperative salvage of computed tomography-diagnosed splenic injuries: utilization of angiography for triage and embolization for hemostasis.
Salvatore J. A. Sclafani,Gerald W. Shaftan,Thomas M. Scalea,Lisa Patterson,Lewis Kohl,A Kantor,Michael M. Herskowitz,Eric K. Hoffer,Sharon Henry,Lisa Dresner +9 more
TL;DR: Hemodynamically stable patients with splenic injuries of all grades and no other indications for laparotomy can often be managed nonoperatively, especially when the injury is further characterized by arteriography.
Journal Article
Percutaneous transcatheter embolization for massive bleeding from pelvic fractures.
Thomas F. Panetta,Salvatore J. A. Sclafani,Alan S. Goldstein,Thomas F. Phillips,Gerald W. Shaftan +4 more
TL;DR: The effectiveness of transcatheter embolization was studied prospectively from January 1977 through July 1984 in 31 patients with extensive pelvic fractures, hypotension, and large retroperitoneal hematomas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early open reduction and internal fixation of the disrupted pelvic ring.
Alan S. Goldstein,Thomas F. Phillips,Salvatore J. A. Sclafani,Thomas M. Scalea,Albert O. Duncan,J Goldstein,Thomas F. Panetta,Gerald W. Shaftan +7 more
TL;DR: Modification of the technique has avoided this complication in the latter part of this series and early open reduction and internal fixation of extremity fractures in patients with multiple injuries has be safe, improve survival, and decrease the incidence of respiratory failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of intra-aortic balloon occlusion in penetrating abdominal trauma.
Bhupendra K. Gupta,Satish C. Khaneja,Lucio Flores,Lewis Eastlick,Wayne Longmore,Gerald W. Shaftan +5 more
TL;DR: Intra-aortic balloon occlusion of the thoracic aorta was attempted in 21 consecutive hemodynamically unstable patients with missile injuries of the abdomen, and Operative control of hemorrhage was accomplished in 11 patients.
